| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Isis expected to carry out 'more violence, more advances, more attacks' as one year anniversary of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... declaration approaches As one year anniversary of the so-called "caliphate" declared by Isis approaches, the group will be seeking to make itself appear "stronger and more defiant than ever", an expert has said. In his address marking the start of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan last year, leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... appeared in public for the first time to proclaim himself caliph of the "Islamic State" and urge supporters to "take up arms" around the world. Since then, the group has continued to seize territory across swathes of Iraq and Syria and made deals with Islamist terrorist groups in several countries. As well as the group's broadcast of gory beheadings and executions of captives, including Western journalists and aid workers, it has grabbed credit for international in terror attacks in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Tunisia, Libya, Afghanistan and Pakistain. Atrocities in La Belle France, Australia and the US have also been carried out by gunnies pledging allegiance to the group. Charlie Winter, a researcher London-based counter extremism think tank the Quilliam Foundation, said Isis will be "more active than ever" over the coming month as the one-year anniversary of the Islamic State approaches. It coincides with Ramadan, which was also an active time for the group in 2013, when Isis Death Eaters freed hundreds of inmates from two of Iraq's largest prisons -- Abu Ghraib and Taji. Mr Winter said that recent gains seizing the cities of Ramadi and Palmyra in Iraq and Syria will have been "meticulously" timed to give Isis a much-needed perception of momentum. "There is a concerted effort to appear as relevant as ever, stronger than ever and more defiant than ever in the face of international opposition," he added, saying the group would be planning "more violence, more advances, more attacks". The US is heading two separate international coalitions conducting air strikes against Isis in both Iraq and Syria, while Kurds, Iranian-backed militias and government troops are fighting on the ground. Last week, US Central Command admitted that the loss of Ramadi in Iraq was a "setback" but said it was confident that it would be regained. |
